The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

Gray Dawn is a giant collie, the son of another of Mr. Terhune's collie heroes, Bruce. Mr. Terhune says that Gray Dawn is unlike any dog he ever owned and that the tales he has to tell about him are unlike any other dog stories he has ever written.

During a fearful December thunderstorm Cleo, the gray collie mother, jumped in terror through the window of her house; then, too weak to get back, she bore her puppies in the sleet on the frozen ground. Only one, snuggled close to her warm flank, survived, to grow from blundering, aggravating, mischievous and adventurous puppyhood into the great loyal collie, Gray Dawn, whose intelligence and fearlessness Mr. Terhune so graphically describes.

Everyone who loves dogs or adventure will enjoy this volume, which deals throughout with the strange personality, adventures, courage and devotion of the great silver-gray collie.
